Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to ensure proper operation of
the cooktop. Heat transferred from the cooktop bottom pan during operation will overheat an improperly
ventilated area.
Allow a 2" minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of the cooktop and any combustible
surface located below, i.e.: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the cooktop. Failure to provide
proper clearances and ventilation may result in a fire hazard. If the cooktop is installed above an oven,
keep the cooktop’s power cord from contacting the oven.
Cooktop dimensions and countertop cutout dimensions are shown below:
NOTE:
When making the countertop, radius the corners of the cutout (1/4" radius is typical). This will
prevent cracking of the countertop. Follow the countertop manufacturer's instructions regarding the
minimum corner radius and reinforcement of corners.
2. Installing the Cooktop
There are four mounting brackets supplied with the glass ceramic cooktop. These brackets are designed
to hold the cooktop firmly in place. The cooktop should be bedded to the countertop using a soft bedding
compound that will prevent damage if later removal for service is necessary. We recommend a very small
bead of silicone sealant.
Position the cooktop in the cutout opening and press firmly on all sides to seal the frame into the bedding
compound. Secure the mounting brackets to the cooktop from underneath with the screws that are
supplied as shown below.
